The Lyrics

During a September 12 lecture at the University of Regensburg, Germany, the pope quoted a conversation that took place in Ankara in the year 1391 between Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and an educated Persian on Christianity and Islam. "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached," the pope quoted Manuel as saying.
(Wop?)
Oh no, he's Germanic, Mr. Pope man
(Hate)
Hate Mr. Pope man

Jeez, Mr. Pope man! Book from See
(Oh yeah)
You read mentioned that 14th century
Guy who had the Mohammed line
(Manny)
Paleologus--boy's Byzantine*

For the world, we calculate
When 'twill enjoy a Caliphate
Then, Mr. Pope man, you'll have seen
That our intention's century 14

We won't stand for your
Stations, Mr. Pope man
Penitent be
Your funny garb is just too Western
Don't like turned-up hats on your homies

(Mr. Pope man)
Mr. Pope man, look from See
(Oh yeah)
A papal letter must be had from thee
(No "please," Mr. Pope man!)
A mea culpa for your crime
(Oh yeah)
You mustn't toy with the party line

You put on plays of Passion. Why?
You see, you're worshipping the wrong guy
And then the right one you dare to question!
We're gonna wipe out everything Western

(Mr. Pope man)
Mr. Pope man, look, Benny!
(Oh yeah)
You're a heretic with your calumny**
(Appease, Mr. Pope man)
We'll kill you to prove who's divine

(It is spelled "heresy"
Hell'va job, Benny!)

----------------------------------------------------------

You've got a
Great religion's
Taint by minions'
Hate dominions
Quaint opinions

(Can be dope, man)
Like opium in IV

(Zealot crackpots: less peculiar, acting more secular)
Is there hope, man?


*rhyme with "fine"
**slander, defamation
